I still think Anthony Weiner should be MSNBC’s next prime time host, and if they’re looking for a black host, I’d go with either Eugene Robinson or Melissa Harris-Perry, but even though I agree with all of McWhorter's criticisms of Sharpton and might even go further, I don't know where "right and wrong" comes into a hiring decision at MSNBC.
If Sharpton pleases the network's existing and profitable fan base, or expands it into new potentially profitable demographics, then it is the "right," decision.
The biggest question here is with MSNBC so persnickety about Olbermann's contributions, will they permit Sharpton to continue his political activities?
If the answer is “yes,” then Olbermann has the right to cry "foul" (and the rest of us have the right to cry). Not ready for his closeup: MSNBC would be wrong to hire Al Sharpton for a nightly hosting gig www.nydailynews.com

The heirs of Jabotinsky and Begin, whose years in the political minority taught them to embrace democratic norms (at least for Jews), face off against the heirs of Stalin and Putin, who want to teach these wimps "the values of patriotism"

Last night’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” reminded me of this old Gatemouth piece (and their chicken is awesome as well), though the anti-Semitic insult during sex stuff was stolen from Mailer's "The Time of Her Time."
